Mally was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN where he currently resides. He has been writing since 2000, but didn’t start rapping until 2002. When he started spitting rhymes, it was evident that Mally had a knack for delivery and content with an abundance of punchlines. By 2005, Mally found his niche as an artist but never expressed to anybody that he rhymed until 2006, for this was to save himself the embarrassment of sounding like a rookie being a new artist, or risk being looked at as “just another rapper”. His first project, entitled The Letter, was released in May 2007. The Letter was a collection of 26 songs, which included 1 track originally produced by Redwine titled “Dear”. The Letter consisted mainly of instrumentals from other releases. This gave the project more of a personal vibe and not just a cliché mixtape. Various blogs like 33jones.com, The Smoking Section, Kiss My A**, and Boo Goo Doom expressed heavy praise on Mally upon his arrival. The Letter was followed one year later in July 2008 with an album titled The Moment with production from Redwine, Check & Balance, Mydus, Rem’, Zilla Rocca and Astronote. The Moment displayed Mally’s ability to craft conventional and non conventional tracks as well. The album in many critics’ eyes was an unknown classic. The Moment had shown Mally can still rap but proved he was an artist beyond the basics, Now in 2009, Mally is blessed to release his 3rd solo project The Passion produced entirely by Miami super producer Mydus. The Passion displays Mally’s spectacular flow, shows extreme growth from The Moment. Throughout The Passion, you begin to really know the man behind the microphone touching on experiences with the working world, love, heartbreak, success, happiness, spiritual battles and being an artist who has a voice but feels no one is listening. The Passion is relative to those who are human beings with dreams and goals of one day seeing the fruits of their labor.
